Science Now Claims That Men Don’t Fully Mature Until They’re Over The Age Of 40

Most of us have heard folks say that men, even as adults,
continue to behave like children. And some also believe that when
it comes to couples, it’s the women who bring maturity to the table
in the relationship. So scientists decided to test this widespread
belief to see if there’s any truth to it, and here’s what they
found out.

The study strived to investigate
the features of maturity in adult men while comparing them with
that of women.

The science is in…

In a study conducted by the University of
Oxford, researchers explained that the maturation of the human
brain is distinguished by a prolonged development of structural and
functional network properties which extends well into adulthood.
This research had the goal of discovering which features transform
during maturation and which ones remain the same. Scientists
studied the brains of 121 participants between the ages of 4 and 40
years old through brain imaging. They also track the changes in the
different functions while taking into account the gender and age of
the participants.

Men are VERY late bloomers.

The results of this experiment showed that although the brains
of both men and women end up developing the same capabilities to
function in daily life, men often show a significant delay in the
prolonged development of functional networks compared to women.
However, ladies show a more premature deterioration of these
networks. This is why it’s often said that men mature later in life
than women.

The female brain is designed to be more efficient

In addition to what has been reported above, there’s also more
data that confirms the greater efficiency of the female brain.
Eduardo Calixto, a professor of physiology and pharmacology on the
Faculty of Medicine at UNAM, explained in his recent publication that although
the brains of men are larger than those of women, the female brain
utilizes more efficiency. For example, it has more neural
connections, better memory, and accurate perception of flavor and
color. Calixto also said that all of this has hormonal origins.

Now thanks to science, we can say with confidence that women and
men’s brains work differently, which can explain the variations in
behavior and the degree of emotional maturity in people.

your daily life? Do you think that all men mature at a later age
than women? Let us know your thoughts in the comments, and please
